You’ve already crossed the bridge from “We’re going to get pregnant!” to “We need help…” But this other side looks like it is filled with more obstacles, including expensive and risky fertility medications.

How far do you have to go just to have a baby?

What is minimal stimulation or natural cycle IVF?

a blog by Michael A. Feinman, M.D., HRC Fertility, January 14, 2011

Mini-IVF and natural cycle IVF are potential alternatives for women who do poorly with conventional stimulation protocols and might otherwise be directed to egg donation.

The value of using stimulated cycles for IVF is well-established. However, there are a number of women who prove to not benefit from the potent ovarian stimulation protocols that are commonly used. In particular, women with elevated FSH levels, especially after age 40, usually do not respond well.

For many years, it was accepted dogma that women over age 40 with FSH levels greater than 10 experience a zero pregnancy rate with IVF using their own eggs. However, over the past decade, a number of IVF programs, lead by physicians in Japan, have shown that some of these women can indeed conceive viable pregnancies through minimal-stimulation IVF or natural cycle IVF.

Natural Cycle IVF Procedure

The first step in natural cycle IVF is meeting with your doctor to go over your personal fertility history—menstrual cycles, health issues, past IVF treatments if any—as well as your emotional state. If you agree you’re a good candidate for this method, you will most likely be asked to begin monitoring your ovulation at home by taking your temperature every day for about three weeks before menstruation is due. This will identify when the LH (lutenin hormone) is surging, indicating your most fertile time.

Is Natural Cycle IVF For You?

Like standard in vitro fertilization (IVF), natural cycle IVF can help women with a variety of fertility challenges, including blocked or damaged fallopian tubes and endometriosis. It is also considered a smart choice for women who can’t tolerate the side effects of fertility drugs administered with traditional IVF. With natural cycle IVF, there are no drugs, except for the mild sedation used to retrieve the egg.
